What color is Dulux Potters Clay 2?

Dulux Potters Clay 2 50RR 54/018 is a light, muted grey with a subtle red-based cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, powdery appearance, while the mid-light depth provides more presence than an off-white. In daylight, Potters Clay 2 is likely to appear as a gentle pale grey; warmer evening lighting can bring its faint rosy warmth forward. Use it across living room, bedroom, or hallway walls with chalky whites, soft taupes, pale timber, and brushed nickel for a restrained, layered scheme.

LRV of Potters Clay 2

Potters Clay 2 has an LRV of 53.42% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 53.42%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
